Tom Hanks sounds off on Raiders moving to Las Vegas

Tom Hanks, a solid lock for anyone’s *Mount Rushmore of famous former Oakland residents, has weighed in on the Oakland Raiders move to Las Vegas. And he’s very unhappy.

The actor was at Bimbo’s 365 in San Francisco on Monday, at a fundraiser for local nonprofits 826 Valencia and ScholarMatch, both San Francisco-based nonprofits founded by Dave Eggers. The event raised more than $500,000 between ticket sales and an auction, which included two autographed floor pianos like the one from Hank’s famous “Big” scene.

At the beginning of his almost entirely positive, inspiring conversation with author Dave Eggers and several local students, the “Forrest Gump” star clearly had something to get off his chest about the Oakland Raiders planned move to Las Vegas.

He even threw in a final shot referencing original Oakland A’s owner Charlie Finley, the late former Oakland Athletics owner who sponsored the Major League D.H. rule, that added the designated hitter to the American League in 1973.

The full rant is transcribed below. When reading this, imagine the same Hanks vocal tone/rage level he used when losing Wilson the volleyball in “Cast Away.”

“When the Raiders leave, I am going on an NFL moratorium for two years.

“You cannot take the Silver and Black, put them in an air-conditioned dome in the desert, make them play on artificial turf within a stone’s throw of the fountains of Caesar’s Palace, and call them the Raiders.

“Here’s the thing I don’t quite understand. And I’m not trying to — this isn’t one of the (many) causes I’m fighting for. I’m just thinking as a fan: It’s a billion-dollar industry, they have billion-dollar TV contracts. All the owners are billionaires. And yet when they want to build a stadium they’re going to use for 10 weeks out of the year, they expect the city taxpayers to buy the building.

“The only good thing that is going to come out of the Oakland Raiders leaving — and there is nothing good that will come out of that, by the way — is that the Oakland A’s might get their own ballpark.”

“I must say I hate that frigging D.H. rule. I always have, ever since that bastard Charlie Finley installed it. We’re not proud of that over on the other side of the East Bay.”
